Across the pond, March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month in the UK: (from Female First)
Many women don’t have any symptoms or only have vague symptoms in the early stages of ovarian cancer, but there are signs to look out for and women are urged to be vigilant for the following:
  • stomach pain or pain in your pelvis 
  • a persistent bloated feeling 
  • feeling full quickly and losing your appetite
These symptoms can occur in other conditions as well and are not necessarily a sign of cancer, but a quick trip to a GP is encouraged if your symptoms are persistent.
make sure you're up to date on getting screened and what options are available to those who are diagnosed. Survival is a team effort--and there are plenty of resources out there to help!
